Chapter 267: The Confusion of Xianyang

"Did the black buttocks catch Liu Ji?"

The morning light was faintly bright, and the Qin camp began to prepare for action, and as soon as Zhao Tuo finished putting on his armor, he was quite surprised when he heard the news that the black buttocks searched overnight and caught Liu Ji's return.

When did the black buttocks become so powerful?

Zhao Tuo instructed Shijian, Zhao Guang and others to arrange the food and drink of the soldiers, and set off immediately after dawn, and asked the black buttocks to bring the captured Liu Ji.

"I'm not Liu Ji!"

As soon as the man entered, he cried out.

"And say no, if you weren't Liu Ji, how could this bride's clothes be on you?"

The black buttocks sneered, kicked "Liu Ji" on the ass, kicked him over, and then threw the Xuanduan dress that had been stained with mud for a long time.

"Junhou, the Liu Ji you want is here, but I searched for a night to catch him, right?"

Black Buttocks said triumphantly.

Zhao Tuo ignored him, but looked at the person in front of him.

Iconic beard.

With a long face and small eyes, and a tall figure, this face looks like a talent, but this person's eyes and expression are quite flustered and frightened, which can't help but make Zhao Tuo's evaluation of him lower a few points.

"Are you Liu Ji?"

Zhao Tuo asked.

"I'm Lu Xuan, not Liu Ji's son at all! You've caught the wrong person!"

Lu Juan shouted, tears flashing from the corners of his eyes.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.

At this moment, Lu Huang was not only frightened, but also heartbroken.

Just as Liu Ji was afraid, this Qin army really wanted to arrest him Liu Ji, but instead of catching Liu Ji, they arrested Lu Juan by mistake.

"It must have been Liu Ji who saw the Qin people coming, and in order to flee for his life, he put this dress on my body, so that the Qin people would think that I was him, so that when the Qin people arrested me, he could take the opportunity to get out!"

[Stable operation for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, old bookworms are using.]

The military is truly safe.

Not only can you get supplies from the cities belonging to the Qin State along the way, but you don't have to worry about whether the enemy will catch up, and you can even sleep more peacefully.

In this case, he Zhao Tuo didn't want to delay the return of thousands of soldiers because of a Liu Ji.

As for this Lu Juan in front of him.

Listening to the words full of resentment in his mouth, Zhao Tuo's heart moved.

This person can be cultivated one or two.

About half an hour later.

The Qin army stationed outside Fengyi began to march in the direction of Shan Fu, leaving only a group of Chu people in the Yi to let out a sigh of relief for the rest of their lives.

In the ranks of the Qin army marching westward.

Thousands of Qin people all showed expectant looks.

Zhao Tuo stood on his chariot and looked west.

"I'm home."

……

"Zhao Tuo, where are you?"

"Where the hell are you?"

In the Qin Palace, Ying Yin Yan bit her lip, and she held a silk silk in her hand, which was full of words.

This was the last letter the man wrote to her before leaving.

She clutched the silk tightly in both hands and whispered, "You said you would come back...... As you said, why haven't you come back?"

It has now been nearly two months since the great battle outside Huaiyang City.

This time, the battle of Qin and Chu basically came to an end.

The Qin general Li Xin led an army of 200,000 to attack Chu and suffered a heavy defeat.

All the cities of Chu that were occupied before were recovered by the Chu army, and even Shangcai, Chen Ying and other places captured by Wang Ben when he attacked Chu last year also fell into the hands of the Chu people again, which can be called a failure.

In terms of generals, the Qin State suffered heavy losses.

The elite of Li Xin's 30,000 passes perished outside Xia Cai City, and only a few thousand people fled back to Qin with Li Xin in a hurry.

Between Huaiyang and Xiangcheng, because of the sudden rebellion of Changping Jun Xiong Qi, coupled with the surprise attack of Chu general Xiang Yan, most of the 70,000 soldiers of the Mengwu Department were lost, and more than 100,000 people in charge of logistics support also died.

Compared to the losses of ordinary soldiers, what really embarrassed the Qin State was that they actually lost a general!

At the same time, the Qin generals of the rank of military candidate in the Qin army also killed as many as five people, in addition to this, one person was captured and two were missing.

Among the two missing.

One is Li You, the son of Changshi Lisi.

It is said that Li You was in charge of Li Xin's palace in the battle of Xia Cai, but because Li Xin was defeated and fled west, Li You's troops were surrounded by the Chu army and lost their news since then.

The Qin State did not receive any news about Li You, and the Chu State did not publicize the record of killing Li You, so it was tentatively designated as missing.

It's just that most people think that Li You must have died a long time ago.

With only 2,000 defeated soldiers, could it be that they could escape from the hinterland of Chu and be surrounded by the Chu army?

….

Even Li Si, after grieving and suffering, prepared to hold a funeral for Li You, buried him with clothes, and sacrificed Li You's lonely soul.

But compared to the fact that Li You died in the hinterland of Chu State.

What really confused the whole Qin State was another missing soldier.

Where did Zhao Tuo, who was deeply loved by the king and trusted by the lord general Li Xin, go?

No one knows Zhao Tuo's specific whereabouts, only that he asked Li Xin to give him independent command in Pingyu, and then after the army went east, he led 5,000 soldiers to set off south.

There is news that he had conquered Xincai in the state of Chu and then led his army further south.

Since then, there has been no news about Zhao Tuo.

To the south of Xincai is the wide Huaishui.

On both sides of the Huaishui River on the other side was a desolate area that even the Chu people rarely visited, lacking the large cities of the Chu State, and the army had difficulty marching and supplying, and it was sparsely populated.

What did Zhao Tuo do there with his troops?

Some people boldly speculate whether Zhao Tuo would be bold enough to cross the Huaishui with 5,000 men and capture the state of Chu in Huai

The southern city.

But this idea was immediately refuted by others, 5,000 soldiers, how to cross the wide Huaishui without the support of the boat master? Do you fly over with wings like a bird?

Not to mention that there were 5,000 people, what were they eating in that no-man's land?

Even if he really crosses the Huaishui, with only 5,000 people, in the heart of the Chu State, what kind of waves can this number of people set off, I am afraid that as soon as he shows up, he will be surrounded and annihilated by the Chu people!

Some people even speculated that Zhao Tuo was not familiar with geography and died directly in that barren land with 5,000 people.

In short, all kinds of doubts and speculations are flying all over the Qin State, and there are different opinions, which makes it difficult for people to understand.

But the mainstream version still says that Zhao Tuo's troops may have been wiped out in the state of Chu.

After all, it was almost two months since the end of the war, and even the generals of the defeated army such as Meng Wu and Li Xin received the edict of Qin Wangzheng and returned to Xianyang. And he, Zhao Tuo, has never heard from him, isn't he dead like Li You, what is it?

"To live to see a man, to die to see a corpse."

In the palace, Qin Wangzheng's face was extremely cold, and he said to Yao Jia, who was standing with his hands down in the palace: "Mobilize all the people in the Chu State to find me the news of Zhao Tuo, whether he is dead or alive, I must know!"

"Yui."

Yao Jia replied, and said, "The news from the next batch of people should arrive in Xianyang in two or three days, maybe there will be a trace of Zhao Shuchang mentioned in it, and the king should rest assured."

Qin Wangzheng nodded imperceptibly.

He closed his eyes in weariness.

Xiong Qi reversed.

Li Xin was defeated.

Meng Wu was also defeated.

The land of Chen and Cai was recovered by the Chu people in one go.

The war was unprecedentedly bad, which made Qin Wangzheng very tired and sad.

But this is a known situation after all.

And no one knows the whereabouts of that young man.

Qin Wangzheng remembered what Li Xin had said when he returned to Xianyang yesterday and came to the palace to ask him for his guilt.

Outside Pingyu City, Zhao Tuo once said that Changping Jun had opposing intentions and knocked on the prime minister to persuade Li Xin.

Li Xin did not listen to the advice, so Zhao Tuo asked for his life and left, leading the Qin army alone and disappeared without a trace.

Qin Wangzheng opened his eyes, looked out of the hall with a pair of eyes, and whispered to himself.

"You, why do you know that Xiong Qi is going to rebel?"

"Where did you go with a piece of soldier?"

"Zhao Tuo, where are you at this time?"

"Widow, I want to see you."
